Reminds me of a mall I went to as a kid. Different stores everywhere. Now it just holds a Sears, JC Penney, and a Dillard's with most of the smaller retail spaces sitting empty.

Zellers was actually making money before they were shut down too. Target wanted to take over the leases that Zellers had, and the investors who bought the Hudson Bay Company wanted a quick buck.

>profit
>>69927147
>Every shopping experience EVER
>go to store for X product
>walk all around store searching for X product
>Find items related to X product
>Find items similar-to-X-but-not-X product
>Search for bumbling retard in a vest
>Ask bumbling retard in a vest if they have X product
>Bumbling retard in a vest takes me to where I just looked
>Doesn't look at thoroughly as I did
>"N-....No.....It doesn't look like we have it in stock"
>"But we could order it in for you"
So what you are telling me is that you can order it in, I have to wait, then I have to drive here again, find another bumbling retard, try to explain to them that I specially ordered something in, wait for the bumbling retard to find it and ring it up, then drive home.

We had a pretty cool abandoned mall in Austin, TX for a good while.
What was weird about it is that they still had like one pretzel shop opened in the whole place, so you could still walk in and shit. Looked like something out of Silent Hill.
They converted it into a Community College though. Kind of smart used of space to be honest.
I'm just wondering if we'll ever see these malls being converted into livable spaces, like turning each store front into a condo or something.
>>69929429
It's called brooke house in basildon
>>69927147
OK I'll just shop at Walmart
>>69929267
Target is a little pricier than Walmart, but not by much. Its whole gimmick is to sell stuff that looks more premium to people who hate Walmart for whatever reason.
I'm still surprised at how they fucked up in Canada. Then again, that was around the same time the credit card theft happened, so I guess things weren't going so well for them behind the scenes.
So what are you going to do with a giant dead mall, anon?
>>69931090
Yeah I sure do like spending the gas to drive to a mall so I can overpay for shit while I have to walk around amongst teenage hoodlums, spics and white trash.
Much like Wal-Mart I only go to the mall when there is absolutely no other option, and that's almost never.
>>69929935
This is what pretty much killed Mom & Pop shops for me.
Had the exact same experience when a new midi controller I was wanting came out. Old as fuck owner told me he could order it for me, and I was just told him nah, and hopped over to Guitar Center; turned out they were cheaper too.
That same shop closed down like a year later.
The mall 5 miles away that I used to go to as a kid (im 27 now) is considered one of the worst malls in America. I have great memories from there and am pretty sad to see it in such a shitty condition.

not in America where you have to drive 15 minutes to get the the store and tip the parking attendant and the cashier.
Funny this thread should pop up.
Anyone been to a Kmart lately?
Went to one the other day out of curiosity. Literally nobody was in the store except the people working there. There was a couple employees standing around fidgeting with some stuff on the shelves. Literally one cashier for the whole store. The PA was playing some weird techno shit. Felt really surreal and weird.
10/10 would recommend if you still have a Kmart in your area.

This right here is why I work out at home. Fuck tipping the receptionist at the gym every time I wanna go lift some weights. America needs to fuck off with this tip culture
I miss stores having movies in general, but this still sucks ten years on. They did it to themselves though, partnering with Amazon.
So it's better to buy cheap imported shit from China from a national brick and mortar chain instead of buying cheap imported shit from China from an online retailer?
You motherfuckers wanted $3 T-shirt and $20 sneakers. You got it.
Fuck Wal Mart. UPS pays their workers better.
>>69931601
They still have little Cesars. Just about the only reason I go in anymore. The rest of the store is a fucking mess. I have 0 idea how they manage to pay the rent, let alone wages with how little they sell.

This is actually a problem in my state. A lot of blogs are written about exploring them.
I bought a fairly expensive vacuum cleaner 8 years or so ago. At a store. Said vacuum requires bags (yeah yeah, I know). Said store stopped carrying the required vacuum bags when the new model came out. Store can order them for $20 and I come pick them up. Or I can order them for $8 and have them delivered directly to my residence. That is essentially why the internet is winning.

Yup. I bought a small cordless vac from a local big box store. Of course they don't carry any consumables for them - only standard Hoover bags. So immediately I had to place an order for replacement filters from Amazon before it's discontinued.
I said "fuck that" and got a Prime membership for $73. It's already paid for itself in shipping. A new CostCo is opening down the road this summer. After that I'm done. If I can't find it at CostCo it's Amazon.

There was a K-mart just down the street for a couple years when I first moved here. The parking lot was always full, but nobody was ever inside barring the employees. Turns out the parking lot was where tons of people parked to get to the nearby town center filled with restaurants, clothing stores, and a large park. They ended up closing down the store, bulldozing the building, made the parking lot bigger, and expanded the town center.
It was definitely eerie being in that K-mart when I first got here. While I was inside there was only one other customer, some super mexican looking guy with a sombrero and everything. They had one cashier like you mentioned. Just standing at the front reading magazines in between helping the one customer a day she would normally get. There were a few other employees in the electronics section who had taken a TV down and hooked up a PS4 to it and were just playing Dark Souls while I browsed. The only other employee I saw in there was some tiny chick stocking the toys section.
I remember when the store was closing they had a big sale on everything. Like 60% off and more. Still only a handful of people showed up. Most of the merchandise had to be dumped.

fuck your malls.
>>69933788
they got bought out by Kruger.
This whole abandoned America is disturbing to me in a different way.
The fact that we get nostalgic over convenience stores, commercial products and television shows bothers me. It means fat faggots in board meetings decided on what our culture would be. Now we have all these people getting depressed over empty department stores and run down theme parks.
For what? They were corporate and commercial enterprises, you were being sold a product and the commercials taught you that product defined who you are.
This whole situation is bullshit.
If you feel at all saddened by abandoned malls and restaurants, maybe you should reconsider why you feel this way.

Then online ordering came out a few years later and Circuit City fucking tanked like a meteor.

Remember Northland? How long before Polaris is fucking full of niggers?
You just can't have nice malls around niggers. Columbus, like Indianapolis, is a case study in the life cycle of a mall. Build a nice mall at the edge of town. Developers build a ton of cheap apartments around mall. Niggers invade mall. Whites avoid mall. Shootings. Gangs. Stores leave. Because a lazer arcade / nightclub. Torn down.

I'm upset that my kids won't be able to ride their bikes around town, play at the arcade after school, and explore the woods on the weekend like I did as a kid. I drive through the same suburb everyday and it's fucking devoid of kids playing out in the streets. At first this didn't seem like a bad thing, I just assumed a bunch of old people or single people lived there. One day, I was coming home from work early and a school bus of kids unloaded at that street and they all just went to their homes. Creepy.

i needed a box fan in the middle of winter, walmart didn't have anything but fucking heaters. hit up kmart and they had a fuck ton of fans.
my kmart actually does pretty good for itself. that was the first time i set foot in there in probably 5 years. they had redesigned the store and it looked more like a target than a kmart.
they're a step above dollar general/family dollar and a step below walmart.
sadly they removed the guns/ammo and other fun outdoorsy shit a long time ago.

Yup. The new thing. "Streets of XXXX" malls.
That's Easton in Columbus. When we left Chicago they built one in Bolingbrook across from Ikea. My brother in law lives near the one in Charlotte, NC.
Funny, but the one in Bolingbrook was already being invaded by niggers before we even left 8 years ago. The cops were always cruising and hassling the "groups of black youths" making trouble.
>>69935996
honestly don't what fat poor white people walking around either, they are disgusting. But yeah you are right, niggers are the biggest problem.
>>69935691
Can confirm. Old mall was torn down some years ago, and one of these outdoors places was erected.

Yeah, real piece there. It'll crumble within 50 years, and due to increase in niggers no one will maintain it.

The time I was around a jcpenney, it was filled with spics. Sears and kmart were mostly miscellaneous nonwhites and niggers. I can't imagine what it's like now.

Yep that's the one. I think once it went out of business, it's space has become revolving dying furniture stores. It's in a space where I would not drive there for general shopping or to get food. Really a dead space.
>>69936764
Yeah, Germany is pretty nice like that. I love this town called Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart. I go to Stuttgart for business and stay for extended trips, it's been a pleasure to see how you guys live there. Getting meat from one place, bread from another, seasonal veggies from the markets outside . Your meat is still shitty, but, the act of shopping is very nice.

I was visiting family, needed to buy a tea kettle, bought a 7 dollar one from walmart. The spot welds started to undo themselves after just a couple days of regular use. The thing had 4 pieces fall off of it by the end of a week.
I just threw the damn thing away and bought an antique kettle for 10 bucks from one of the old antique shops in the old downtown area. Damn thing was already 50 years old when I bought it, still works just fine, nothing missing.

Because of ADA, most stores don't have high curbs in front anymore. It was common to have white trash and spic families pull up their shit wagon onto the sidewalk in front to load up all of their shit.
There's a few times where retard women drive through on accident, or a nigger crashes through the front to steal the ATM or a vending machine in the main entrance.

Our family has an old percolator pot electric coffee maker at our summer cottage. I'm an old fucker, and that thing is older than I can remember. It has to be at least 50 years old. It still works perfectly.
Meanwhile we burned through 3 Mr Coffee perc drips in the past 6 years. We finally spring for a pricey Bel Vita that seems to be working OK so far. If this thing dies I'm driving up to the cabin and stealing that percolator.

I saw an impact font 'meme' image on a billboard once. I couldn't get a picture of it fast enough, it was on the side of the freeway.

Yah, it's the new aesthetic. I guess it's supposed to have a "walking 'round the town" feel/nostalgia, (reminiscent of "mom and pop" stores and a time before there were malls) but frankly the sidewalks are too thin and the rodes are too relatively wide. Feels like I'm being squished up against a storefront.
The thing is the lack of air conditioner really does thwart the nigs and It's genuinely fun to walk around in. Feels like a theme park.
>>69935715
There's two reasons for this:
1. Pedo/kidnap scare (Parents generally worried about their children)
Nowadays parents don't let their (little) kids go outside without supervision, which leads to "Mommy doesn't want to go outside right now, do something inside," which leads to conditioning against going outside.
2. Vidya/abundancy of inside activities that require less effort
This happened to me. One day my neighbor got a console. We thought it was cool, but he didn't come outside as often, leading to us not coming outside as often because we had less opportunities with less people. Since we had less to do outside, another kid got a console, making there even less to do outside because the lack of people. The vicious cycle continued till in my High school years no one was outside. Then we all moved off to college and never saw eachother again.
>>69937221
I see, well it's still funny because I've not seen that here I don't think, or it might just be one of those mundane things you don't take note of. Now I have something to look forward too.

I find solace in the fact that I threw very little money into that crap pit compared to others, learned early on not to like walmart, mostly because it was like a hive for all the beaners in my home town. Used to make jokes with my friends in high school about going into walmart some day and yelling 'la migra' and then watching the chaos unfold.

Venture by me has become 4 different major chain stores since the 1990s. Right now I think it's either a Meijer or a Kroger.
These were always on the next town over/borderline ghettovilles and either had nigger Payless Shoes next to them or Chuck E Cheezes.

>>69937565
It might be also, but I dunno for sure so abandoned shopping carts don't roll away from the front of the store when lazy niggers don't put them back right.
>>69937621

i remember this place from the 80's early 90's
>>69937909
Yeah that might work for others, that shitty kettle just reminded me why I hate walmart.
I hope planned obsolescence ends some day. I've lived in China off and on for a few years, the Chinese all want to buy stuff made in the USA or Germany. There's a market there that hasn't been tapped, where the belief that American made products are built to last still holds.

Babbages was bought out by Gamestop a long time ago, in most places they're too lazy to change the signs. Places like Gamestop stay in business by ripping the fuck out of people by harassing them with preorders and giving kids literally pennies for their old games then turn around to sell them for around $20 more
>>69931601
Several years back I stopped in the local mall (after having not been there for years) to check if Radio Shack had a battery for my cell phone.
Noticed the parking was pretty empty but when I walked in, I thought the mall was closed down and they had mistakenly left the door unlocked.
There was _nobody_ in sight anywhere as far as I could see down the length of the mall until I got about halfway down, then I saw the Radio Shack was gone, so I turned around and went home.
Weird feeling being a huge interior space like there with no people around, I was waiting for zombies to shamble out and attack me….

>5 fucking bakeries along one street
The street isn't even particularly long. It's around 500-600m and there's 5 different bakeries.
Las Vegas has GOAT malls.
we have a mall in my city with a bunch of richfag stores
ie. Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Rolex, Tag Huer, Hugo Boss, LV, MK, versace
thing is it's mostly postly poorfags just hanging around.

Are you old enough to remember when they carried a shitton of discrete electronics?
Remember all the integrated circuits on the blue cards with stock numbers starting with 276 - ? For a while they were expanding their IC selection every month. It was really cool to see all the new TTL-LS and CMOS chips come in.
>>69931601
